What would you like to enhance on the Boeing 727?

(Licensed under GPL by Paul Richter via Wikimedia)BOEING 727 DEVELOPMENTVarious polls leaded to the result, that most of the flightgear forum users wanted to improve the 727. So here is the development thread. What is going to be enhanced? Modelling, FDM, Systems (a priority list will be made after the finishing of the poll above)You want to help? Great, just leave a post here and tell us what you want to be.Development repository: https://github.com/IAHM-COL/727-230[OLD]Hi all!This project has the goal, to build an aircraft, with every or at least almost every(aircraft)developer involved.First, there will be many surveys, to find out, what the most people like (e.g. big aircraft/small aircraft/...)After that, we search for every part of the aircraft a developer/some developers, who are very good in the part(e.g. cockpit, fuselage, FDM, …)If we are fast, we will be able to put the parts of the aircraft together in maybe about 2 months (just an estimate, please dont kill me if Im to optimistic/pessimistic). For the development, ill open a git repository (as soon as I know how to build one up )So, everyone that is good in building an aircraft, please write here and say, what you can do best.The surveys will all go about 5 days, the first question is: What do you like more, planes or helicopters?

Thanks in Advance for all people involved!D-ECHO

PS: Feel free to tell me any things you dont like or any change you would do...

I don't know what project you have in mind, but I do have a project in mind that would love to have collaborators joining in

Making a plane does not need to be a lonely endeavor, when so many skillsets are required,

Let me know if you have an "aircraft" type in mind, or not, and whether you want to hear what I'd love FG to have.

(On the other hand, remember you can join FGMEMBERs team and develop your aircraft repo within)Best,

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it? Probably not, because if they don’t recognise their freedoms, they’ll let their freedoms fall

@ IAHM-COL: I had a project in mind of a newbuilt aircraft, with as many contributors involved as possible. I havent got an aircraft type in my mind, I just wanted first to figure out, which aircraft type everybody wants and after that figure together with the whole community a new and innovative aircraft out.Then, we we got the aircraft, each developer can do his/her part and after that we pull it together...

TO ALL: As a result of the pretty clearly result, the poll will only run till tomorrow evening, then a new one will show up with more questions...

"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up.""Why not?" said Gurder."Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Although I actually voted for spacecrafts, this is never going to work. The most amazing thing would be to gather able developers and put them to work towards perfecting our current half-finished models. In my opinion, there's only one aircraft that is actually "complete" and that is the 707. All rest need work here and there. This may only happen through Google Summer of Code or something like that.

@ sebulbaThe github area is a better way to do that than any google solution I know of

Had you seen the c172p-detailed progress?

I tried to test it but the model didn't load in 3.4. Not sure why, so I postponed my testing for when the development reaches a more stable stage. I am looking forward to it and closely monitor its progress. I absolutely agree that the n1 aircraft that developers should start "perfecting" is the little Cesna (for many reasons).

Okay, I think the vote goes clear to Planes (13 votes, 1 vote for heli, 3 votes for spaceships).Now, there comes the next question: Which type of plane do you like? Glider ?Single propeller? Twin propeller? Four propeller? single engine (jet)?twin engine (jet)? three-engine (jet)? four-engine (jet)? Please write a post if I have forgotten something...
